Atkinson & Oloff are pushing the Sec
ond avenue paving project in a manner
that is highly gratifying to all progressive
citizens. This morning thirty men were
put on and the excavation as far west as
Nineteenth street, of the car tracks was
rapidly con.pleted. Supt. Schnitger im
mediately rut a force of his own at work
raising the track to grade and was not
long in completing that part of the work,
and the flrtt of the filling prepratory to
laying brick between the rails, was put
in this afternoon by Atkinson & Oloff.
The first car of Bardolph brick for the
use of the Holmes street car company ar
rived this morning, and the first block
of the car tracks will be paved before the
people havii any idea it will. .
It was rumored this morning that one
or two of the property holders in the
pavine district had attempted to assem
ble a meeting of the other property hold
ers last night for the purpose of obtain
ing sen time at relative to putting an in
junction ot the paving contractors, but
there was S) small a turnout that the in
stigators were discouraged. Any one
who would propose such an idea ought
to be discouraged and sat down on.
The majority of the taxpayers on Sec
ond avenue- never felt better than they
do now, for while the improvement is to
cost them all something, they have the
sense to soe the immediate benefits
ahead, not c nly to them, but to the entire
city, and a loan who is talking injunction
is among the wrong class of people; be
had better move to Davenport or Moline.
A number of leading lawyers were spoken
to on the subject this morn
ing, and all ridiculed the idea of injunc
tion. One of them spoke truthful senti
ments when he said: "I doubt if a law
yer could be found in Rock Island who
would undertake to stop this work to
please anybody. In the first place there
are no appa ent reasons for such action.
The attorneys, as a profession, have done
as much to promote Rock Island's growth
as any class of business men, and I don't
believe one of the number in the city
would exercise his professional talents to
deter it now. It would certainly be one
who is exceedingly hard up for a fee who
would do such a thing. We are on the
move here t lis year, and a man who lags
or revolts kills himself forever in the eye
of the coma unity by so doing."
Second avenue presents a gorgeous ap
pearance thise nights with its almost in
numerable red danger signals. People
are for the riost part heeding the injunc
tion of the council to put in needed water
and gas pipes, sewer connections, etc.,
before the piving reaches them. This is
a very necessary precaution and will save
much future trouble both to the city and
property holders. The following from
the local columns of the Omaha Bee is
apropos of this very subject:
The paving around the motor switches
at the corner of Broadway and Thir
teenth street! was removed yesterday to
level up the track, which was badly out
of shape, on account of the settling of the
ground and paving over the sewer. There
are numerous similar places on Broadway
at various pc ints between the Northwest
ern depot aad the waterworks settling
basin, where there are decided depres
sions in the avine. owing both to the re
laying of the blocks and the settling of
the grade. It will be noticed in almost
any part of the city where the paving has
been remove 1 and relaid. to mate repairs
to sewers, wi.ler pipes or gaa pi pes, or for
the purpose of making house connec
tions, that the relaid section of paving
almost invariably settles below the sur
rounding pving in a few weeks, and
there remaii s. Aside from making an
uneven surface in the street, which in
jures the -appearance of the thorough
fare,, these depressions are filled with
water in eveiy rain, which settles down
between the olocks, and tends to hasten
the decay of the material. Lower Broad
way, which was one of the finest ap
pearing drives in the country when com
pleted last summer, is becoming filled
with these depressions, and some of
them are decidedly lower than they
should be. )t will result in spoiling the
street for fas: driving unless a stop is put
to it. The c ty engineer is supposed to
have the ma' ter under his personal ob
servation, but it is impossible for him to
always to be on band, and an examina
tion when tie work is completed does
not show thikt the dirt was improperly
tamped, and it is accepted.
Mayor McConocbie has given notice to
the telegraph, telephone and electric
light companies to move all poles inside
the curbing before the paving is pat in.
This is a pro jer move, as it will give the
street a much better appearance.

At the last meeting of the Davenport
Business Men's association a committee
was appoint d to wait upon the county
supervisors and urge upon them the ap
proach of tie Western Waterways con
vention to le held at Cincinnati Sept
4th, together with the further fact that
Scott county should be liberally repre
senled in connection wiih the city of Dai
venport, whioh has already determined to
send delegates. Yesterday morning the
committee celled on the board and its re
quest was wpeedly complied with. A
committee of fiye representative citizens
of the county will be appointed in due
time, who will act in concert with the
delegates, wlowill be named by the city
council. It s meet that Rock Island take

That One-sided ame.
Hillsdale. Aug. 7 The Erie Inde
pendent of Aug. 3d sav" in respoff.ie lo
an article headed "The Zumas do Up the
Erie Kickers." in the Arous shortly after
the game was played between the Zu
mas and Erics, "Under the above head
ing in the Rock Island Arous of July
2titb, appears a lengthy article teeming
with abuse against the Erie base ball
nine, and full of nil "statements." In re
ply we will say we abused no one in par
ticular, but the action of the base ball
club and residents of Erie, at that game
has attracted a great deal of attention
We would like to have the editor of the
I inlcpendent inform us if there cannot be
good order and a great deal of kicking
going on at the same time? But we said
umiMinl good order by which we set
forth the meaning that it was better than
previously. As to the agreement that
there should be no shouting, the catcher,
Jimmy Wright, said when catching, about
the second inning: "Let us have
good order and stop that 'shouting for
once." Captain Schafer. of the Zumas,
agreed. Again, the Independent says, in
response to our statement, that they
could not hit Cromp ton's balls, but that
by good batting tbey made nine scores in
the fifth inning; another contradiction,
when those parties, Billy Rush and Silas
Wait, threatened to hit the pilcher,
Crompton, with the bat if be bit them.
We slated they could not hit the balls,
which made them angry, but we did not
say they could not hit any during the
game; any fair-minded person would
have placed the proper construction on
the matter and not made a bad matter
worse by trying to prejudice its readers
with such ignorant statements. Again,
the paper says, "the article refers to Le
Claire plaviog here July 4lh. and states
they were treated most inhospitably, and
that they would not play Erie again for
SO." Also it says, '"this statement
is most thoroughly refilled by the
receipt of a letter from the LeClaire club,
date of July 19, asking for another game
with Erie." While wearenot responsible
for the after action of the LeClaire club,
yet the statement was made by them in
the village of Hillsdale on their way home
from Erie. This we can prove by some
of the most reliable citizens of this vicin
ity. Again the Erie f-heet says, "we are
not championing the Erie club, but the
good nt.uie of Erie for its hospitality and
good treatment to all visitors." We will
say that we insinuated nothing against
the good name of Erie or its particular
treatment of visitors. Erie may be a per
fect paragon for hospitality, or its treat
ment of visitors. So, Mr. Independent,
please stay within tbe bounds of our
articles when responding, and do if in
editorial style. While we may occasion
ally make a slight mistake in our articles,
you, the great wise-acre should beware
of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your
extemporaneous necantalious have intel
ligibility and veracio vivacity without
rhodomontade or transonical bombast, in
other words talk plainly and tell tbe
truth.
